Abstract

A Zimbelstern system or sequential bell ringing system in which a sequential counter actuates a set of self-damping circuits in a predetermined repeating sequence, the self-damping circuits each enabling a different set of sinusoidal tone sources in such relative amplitudes and with such relative rise and decay envelopes as to simulate the sounds of sequentially sounding bells when electro-acoustically reproduced.
